Great performance that. I like Cab Calloway.
The thing I've noticed here in Toronto is that marijuana smoking seems pretty prevalent.
Now remember, in New Zealand I live in Northland where 'the weed' grows like gorse does in Wellington and it's not uncommon for the local populace to partake but here it just seems so more tolerated.
I'm not sure what the regulations are regarding cannabis use but it really is a day to day occurrence here to walk along the street and see or smell people smoking. a member of Canada's parliament is an avowed cannabis user and Toronto's mayor uses crack cocaine so perhaps it is normal.
The smell of burning marijuana is so distinctive and powerful that it's impossible to miss it. It makes me wonder if regular users become desensitised to the smell and don't realise that others can easily identify it both when they are smoking and afterwards. The smell clings to hair and clothing and wafts about a long time after use.
This is something that tobacco smokers become unaware of also. Do smokers know that their clothes, their hair and their breath stinks (and not of that nice cannabis smell)? I guess not and they are unaware that their cars, houses and work spaces also reek - a reek that is almost impossible to get rid of (never buy a car that someone has smoked in).
Maybe I'm just getting old.
